Chapter 728: Chapter 728 - 686: The Great Sorcerer’s Avatar Puppet

Mr. Wu’s mouth twitched when he heard the name Xiaosuisui had given the magnificent Divine Beast.

"Such a name for the mighty Dragon of Ancestor Zhou! You truly are contemptible!"

Xiaoqing’s tail swept towards Mr. Wu.

"Shut up! She’s my Master. She can call me whatever she wishes!"

"What did you say? You actually accept her as your Master!"

"That’s right, it accepted me as its Master. Do you want to acknowledge me as your Master too? I’ll give you a name. How about Big Black? No! That name’s already taken. How about Xiaohai?"

While Xiaosuisui spoke, her hands didn’t pause for a moment. She seized the opportunity when Mr. Wu was furious and leaped straight up.

Her left fist landed squarely on Mr. Wu’s face.

Mr. Wu was utterly incredulous, retreating three steps as he stared warily at Xiaosuisui.

"Indeed, Master Yun has passed all his Power to you! Your Power is now nearly comparable to mine."

Xiaosuisui stood suspended in the Void, cloud-shaped ripples spreading out in circles from beneath her feet.

This was the breath expelled from the Cyan Dragon’s nostrils; this very breath allowed Xiaosuisui to stand in the Void.

"I don’t care how profound your Power is. Right now, you’d best surrender obediently and return with us to Great Han to clearly explain matters concerning the Great Wizard of Nanjiang!"

"You’ve done quite well, finding out many things. But I tell you, it’s useless. Capturing me will, at most, let you know a mere trifle. It won’t affect the Great Wizard in the slightest!"

"Are you referring to the Great Wizard of Nanjiang deliberately provoking a war between Great Han and Nanjiang? Or the Great Wizard of Nanjiang’s scheme for his own advancement?"

Ji Youzhi and Yun Kuo flanked Mr. Wu, remaining vigilant. They didn’t dare advance rashly but were also wary of him escaping. Hearing Mr. Wu’s words, Ji Youzhi blurted out his suspicions.

"Truly impressive. I thought you would presumptuously assume the Great Wizard of Nanjiang provoked the war merely because Nanjiang covets the territory of the Central Plains. I didn’t expect you to also find out that the Great Wizard is about to advance further! I originally thought you didn’t know much and I would just let you go today. Unexpectedly, it seems you know more than I imagined. In that case, none of you will be leaving here today."

After Mr. Wu finished speaking, a crystal ball suddenly appeared in his hand—a sight very familiar to Xiaosuisui and Ji Youzhi.

"So, it really was you causing trouble at Black Water Ridge back then. I’m just very curious, why did you become a Puppet later? And how did you, yourself, escape at that time?"

Ji Youzhi frowned deeply in confusion, loudly questioning Mr. Wu.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu burst into uproarious laughter.

"HA HA HA! Want to know? I absolutely refuse to tell you!"

Noticing something strange about Mr. Wu’s eyes, Ji Youzhi had a bad feeling.

"Everyone, be careful! This Mr. Wu seems very strange. He’s definitely up to no good right now!"

Years of experience in handling cases made Ji Youzhi instinctively warn everyone.

All Yun Kuo could think about was capturing this so-called Mr. Wu; otherwise, his grandfather’s death would have been in vain.

"No need to be careful anymore! Your time to die has come!"

Mr. Wu grinned eerily, holding the crystal ball high above his head. A stream of black energy flowed continuously from his body into the crystal ball.

Witnessing this scene and recalling his words, it wasn’t just Xiaosuisui and Ji Youzhi. Even Yun Kuo, who had never been out to sea and was unfamiliar with the world beyond, felt a distinct sense of danger!

"Cousin Youzhi, we can’t let his crystal ball continue absorbing that black substance! I have a very bad feeling about it; it feels incredibly dangerous."

Ji Youzhi nodded. "I feel the same way!" With that, he raised his sword and lunged towards the crystal ball in Mr. Wu’s hand.

Mr. Wu didn’t consider Ji Youzhi a threat at all and effortlessly dodged his sword strike.

Yun Kuo seized the opportunity and thrust his sword from the side. Mr. Wu paid him no mind either; a young lad with no combat experience wasn’t worth his caution.

Both Ji Youzhi and Yun Kuo missed, but they didn’t give up. The crystal ball in Mr. Wu’s hand exuded an extremely dangerous feeling.
